General Coverage.

2. All users should be aware of these regulations, and should realize that when using the computers within the UP SYSTEM, they are bound by these regulations.

These units will be responsible for publishing the regulations they establish and their policies concerning the authorized and appropriate use of the equipment for which they are responsible. Copies of these policies should be given to the President, Vice-President for Development, the Intellectual Property Office and the Office of Legal Services.
3. Where use of external networks is involved, policies governing such use will be applicable and must be adhered to.
